Muscat: The Foreign Ministry has welcomed the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution by the majority calling for a cessation of hostilities in the Republic of Sudan, and considers this resolution an important step toward achieving stability and peace in Sudan.

The Foreign Ministry emphasizes the importance of dialogue and political solutions as a means of ending conflicts and strengthening national unity in Sudan to achieve opportunities for peace and stability for the brotherly Sudanese people.

The UN Security Council (UNSC) adopted a draft resolution Friday that demands an immediate cease-fire in Sudan during the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan.

The resolution, presented by the UK, was voted on during a UNSC session and was approved with 14 votes of the 15-member Council and one abstention.
